Silver City Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Drama is too intense for kids and young teens.
The New Yorker
David Denby
The plot of Silver City is movieish in the extreme, with filthy abandoned mines subbing for the bars and alleys of urban noir, but it's no more than mild cheese.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Though there's nothing wrong with moral outrage, it doesn't always aid the telling of a complex story. More subtlety might have worked better.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Sayles has assembled a large, eclectic, talented cast.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
The latest collection of op-ed pieces from writer/director John Sayles, whose movies are usually easier to respect than enjoy.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
There's definitely ore to be mined in Silver City, but Sayles' pan comes up with only particles of dust.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Using Dickie Pilager as a stand-in for George W. Bush seems too coy a tactic for these scabrous times. For better or worse, we want the real -- or at least, the 'real' -- deal.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
An uninvolving muddle.
Slate
David Edelstein
The movie takes off into the comic stratosphere in its first sequence and then slowly sinks to Earth, made logy by its noble means and Sayles' increasing inability to shoot anything but fat clots of undramatic talk in the most boring manner imaginable.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The movie's so crowded, the story becomes strangled, and the political message Sayles is clearly aiming for loses its bite. But it's worth seeing, if only for Cooper's performance.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Wildly uneven.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Silver City does seem more like the work of a nuanced novelist than of a dynamic visual and dramatic talent.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A film that should involve us more than it does.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Silver City has a detective plot, important themes, clever lines and a passel of intriguing characters, but they're not put together in a way that holds your interest.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
A terrible disappointment.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
If there's one thing Sayles has proved he's not gifted at over his long, respected career, it's comedy.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Its implications are so ploddingly obvious, you'll swear you wandered into a dank lecture room where today's topic is The Way the System Works.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
[Sayles] shows how lives can be unexpectedly connected, how hidden agendas can slip in under the radar, how information can travel and wound or kill.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Would have been better served with a more dynamic hero and a leaner, darker plot.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Heard a good movie lately? John Sayles' Silver City is one you might try.
